      @andrewh Of course I knew my res calc is used by the script.Good to know that latest version is stretching the viewport and therefore needs specific overlays.
      btw: thanks for spotting the issue with the dkong overlay name in the cfg. Fixed it now in my Repo also.

          Thank you for this great work. I use all of your excellent overlays.

          Unfortunately my graphic-skills are very limited. But i love the enhancement to vertical games. Especially with included game controls manual

            I have a 5:4 screen. For some reason the bezels are just a hair to wide I fill pay off the game play screen. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to fix but am at a loss....

              My screen is 5:4 too - it's what these overlays were made for.

              Are you using the suggested custom vertical shaders? Check out this thread for details (it's worth doing even if you're not using the overlays)

                Thanks very much. And yeah - I try to get the game instructions in there if they exist - I've learned some new things about some of the games as a result :-)

                  I love these overlays! I installed a few of them (the 194x-ones) and got them up and running, but now i can't start the rpie-art.sh script any longer :(

                  alt text

                  Is there problems with the script or have something gone wrong with my permissions? I haven't done anything in particular that should mess this up. Just suddenly it didn't work anymore.

                  Also, i can't use the bash command anylonger unless i enter the path for it (see screenshot).

                  I can start the script if i don't go to superuser but nothing works in it. Tried reinstalling the script but problem persist.

                    @redfarmer you are running the script as 'root' instead of the iser 'pi'.

                      You need support from our script Master (and author): @meleu can you help ?

                        @redfarmer I've updated the README to avoid this kind of confusion. Please, check the instructions here:
                        https://github.com/meleu/rpie-art/blob/master/README.md#how-to-use-the-script

                        (summing up: do NOT use rpie-art with the root account)

                        (thanks @UDb23 for the ping ;) )

                          Oh man! I overcomplicated things by changing to the root user. Now it works like a treat :D At one point there was some problems even with user pi, but it was probably something i did. Working fine now :) Thanks alot from someone still learning!

                            It appears as though my resolution is set to 1024 x 720 ... I'm using a regular widescreen computer monitor. Will these require me to change settings that may screw up how my menus/games are displayed?

                              I guess you're better off with the widescreen overlays. These are specifically made for non widescreen.

                                  @AndrewH How do I get the config file location, when I am installing the files and the overlays. changed to

                                  input_overlay = "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/arcade-bezels/galaga-AH.cfg" <----This a correct statement
                                  input_overlay_enable = "true"
                                  input_overlay_opacity = "1.000000"
                                  input_overlay_scale = "1.000000"

                                  This initially is being pointed at input_overlay = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/arcade-bezels/galaga-Ah.cfg" (belive this is where it was pointed) this does not work with retropi 4.X . This is for all the config files I have installed. DK - Frogger galaxian.

                                  Also how do I get the rom to fit in the 1280x1024 5:4 overlay . The rom output is slightly larger then the overlay. I redid a couple of them to fit.

                                  Otherwise thanks for putting this toghther you saved me a lot of trouble .
